Political role

The role of the Stellvertreter is to become the deputy of the Vorsitzender whenever he/she is gone or on leave. The Stellvertreter may take place as Vorsitzender if he/she resigns the office. One example would be when Damian Billbrough, who was at that time Vorsitzender left Abelden and since no Vorsitzender was on place, Llewelyn Lawton took his place instantly as the Stellvertreter becomes the Vorsitzender instantly. Lawton is currently Vorsizender and was reelected on the 25 December 2015.

The Stellvertreter also has the role to help the Vorsitzender in different functions on which the Vorsitzender cannot attend to. The Stellvertreter also has to attend every meetings there is.

Election and term length

He/She may also be appointed or removed by the Monarch's pleasure, with an approval from the Reichsversammlung.

The position of Vorsitzender and the Stellvertreter are the only positions elected in Abelden; the rest of the government positions are appointed by the Monarch with the advice from the Reichsversammlung and the winner of the General elections.

The term length of the Stellvertreter is 'at His Majesty's pleasure', the same follows with the Vorsitzender. There is no term limit, but usually three terms are normal term limits. Andrew Janiszewski is currently the longest serving Stellvertreter, serving for 5 motnhs. All his predecessors usually have served only for 3 months or less and are replaced most often.
